Raspberry Sherbet Punch

In honor of Delta Zeta's National Convention which is going on this week, here is my recipe for Raspberry Sherbet Punch.  I've used this recipe for recruitment parties.


Ingredients:

• 2 2-liter bottles of Sprite or Ginger Ale
• 1 c. Concentrated Fruit Punch
• 1 container of Raspberry Sherbet (lime sherbet may be substituted)

Directions:

• Pour one bottle of Sprite into a punch bowl.
• Add the concentrated fruit punch.
• Pour the second bottle of Sprite into the bowl slowly.  You might want to add it one cup at a time to avoid splashing.
• Add the sherbet.
• Serves 20 - 30.
  

Note:  To add an extra touch, allow the sherbet to start to melt.  Once this happens, add fresh raspberries to the sherbet and refreeze before adding the sherbet to the punch.

Fizzy Lemonade

Here's a fun twist on a classic.  Over the summer during one of the technique classes at Williams-Sonoma, they made lemonade for us, but this lemonade had a twist.  They used carbonated water instead of regular tap water. I've been making a lot of lemonade and limeade since I am not drinking caffiene while we are trying to have Baby #2.

If you make the Minute Maid Lemonade that is found in the freezer section of the grocery store, a large bottle of seltzer water and a bottle of water equals the 4 1/3 cups of water needed to make the lemonade.
